What I do most of the time is indent the code by 4 spaces and make sure there are blank lines before and after the code block. Just now I noticed a link 'code' along the top of the window. Clicking on that I read that a code block can be identified as such by surrounding it with sets of three backticks (```). That worked.

I noticed that lines were wrapped but could not find how to expand the input box so they would not wrap. SO wouldn't let me post the question because of the wrapped code.
